St Gabriel’s N.S. has served the community of Oxmantown Road, Stoneybatter and the surrounding areas since 1895.
Originally a separate boys and girls school, St Gabriel’s amalgamated into one mixed national school in 1996. We have a rich and proud history in the North West inner city of Dublin.
Our aims at St. Gabriel’s N.S., in keeping with our Catholic ethos, are that our pupils develop a positive attitude towards learning, that they develop self-esteem, respect for themselves and others and achieve their full potential in a safe and happy environment.
We cater for boys and girls from Junior Infants to 6th class. St. Gabriel’s N.S. also has two special classes, one for children with a moderate learning disability and one for children with autism.
School starts at 8.50am.
Junior and Senior Infants finish school at 1.30pm.
1st to 6th class children finish school at 2.30pm.
